Sat, 04 Jan 2020 11:43:51 GMTSome flash drives are FAT32 formatted, which will limit them to 32GB. You can fix this by deleting the partition on the flash drive, creating a new one, and formatting it as NTFS. Here's how:

1) Open a command window as administrator. Do this by typing "cmd" in the search bar, then when the Command Prompt entry pops up, right click it and then click "Run as Administrator"

2) Type "diskpart" to start the DISKPART program

3) Type "list disk" at the prompt, and you will see a list of disks. The last one listed should be your flash drive (verify this makes sense by the listed size). Then type "select disk" followed by the number of the drive. So if it shows up as disk 2, type "select disk 2".

4) Type "list partition" and it will show you the partitions. There should only be one. Type "select partition 1", and then "delete partition", and you will have deleted the partition on the drive. (If there's more than one partition, repeat this for each partition number).

5) Type "create partition primary" to create a new partition

6) Go to the drive in File Explorer and right click on it. Select "Format". The correct file size should show. Change File System to be NTFS. Make sure Quick Format is checked. Then press Start.

That's it! Your flash drive should be at full capacity now!

These instructions are for Windows 10 users. If you have a Mac, I can't help you. Also, these instructions are only for cards of size 64GB or 128GB.

1) Download the GUI FAT 32 Formatter by going to Ridgecorp's webpage and clicking on the image of the program to download it. (Ignore any warnings about it being "dangerous", as it's not.)

2) Run it. Make sure that your SD card is in the drive. Make sure that the drive selected is your SD drive, leave the Allocation unit size as-is (except make sure it's at least 32768), and Quick Format is checked. Leave everything else blank. Do not press start yet.

3) Open up Windows Task Manager (or Process Explorer, if you have it), and terminate running process explorer.exe. Most of your desktop should disappear. Don't worry about this.

4) Now press Start on the GUI FAT 32 Formatter. It should quickly format your card.

5) In Task Manager, go to File->New Task, and type "explorer.exe" and hit OK. (In Process Explorer, do File->Run and type the same thing.) It should restore your desktop.

Thu, 17 Oct 2019 11:37:05 GMTHere's some tips on how to re-access your Cydia account so you can download your past purchases from another device.

This is for jailbroken iPhones. If you don't have a jailbroken iPhone, ignore this post.

First off, make sure to have your Google or Facebook account login info which is associated with your Cydia. If you don't have that, you're out of luck.

Once you're signed in, click on "Add Device" to the right of "Linked Devices".

Once there, click on the "Cydia" button.

Then you will see "Open Cydia to Share URL". Click that. When "Open in Cydia" pops up, confirm that.

This will take you over to Cydia and you'll see that you're on the Sources menu.

Then click on "Continue to Source" om the main screen, but note that Cydia has a bug where it will grey it out if you just click it normally. Instead, click and kind of swipe right at the same time, and it will work. If this fails, just press "Reload" at the top and try again.

Now click "Sources" at the bottom of the Cydia screen and verify you see "Packix" there.

At this point, close Cydia and restart it.

Then you'll click on "Manage Account" on the home screen, noting that same swipe-right-while-clicking method to do it.

Then click on the type of account you want to log in with (Google or Facebook), and at that point, everything should be linked, and you'll be on your way.

Why?

Because Incognito Mode does not allow the site to track your previous visits, and allows you to get around the type of paywall where they give you X number of free articles per month.

On Chrome, I have found a workaround to disable detection of Incognito mode:

Next, search for Filesystem API in Incognito by either scrolling down or searching for it by pressing Ctrl-F and typing that.

Once you've found that setting, change it from Default to Enabled.

Close Chrome.

Restart.

Now Incognito Mode cannot be detected.

Wed, 22 May 2019 08:15:18 GMTCheck out how sanctimonious the mainstream segment of the jailbreak community has become:

There's a jailbreak app called Cercube which allows you to do a few extra things with the YouTube app, such as allowing YouTube to play in the background as you use other apps, as well as downloading YouTube videos.

Cercube has been pulled from "main" Cydia repo BigBoss (which comes with Cydia by default, and houses many of the jailbreak apps), and discussion of Cercube has also been banned from Reddit's /r/jailbreak subreddit.

Why?

Because they claim this amounts to "piracy" both of these features are now part of YouTube Premium. So their logic is, "Since you have to pay for these features on YouTube Premium, we are uncomfortable supporting enabling them through a tweak."

What kind of fucking sanctimonious bullshit is this?

The whole point of jailbreaking is to unrestrict your device from the control of Apple and other corporations.

Just because this unrestriction happens to now enable a few features now being sold at a premium does NOT equate to piracy.

The big difference here is that, long before YouTube Premium existed, Cercube and other jailbreak apps allowed you to do background play and downloads. Google could have placed these features into YouTube many years ago, but simply chose not to bother.

Now some suit at Google said, "Hey, you know what.. let's finally put these features in, and charge people who want them!"

So now everyone who enabled those features on their phone all this time are suddenly equivalent to software pirates?

Get the fuck outta here.

In general, I don't like when controls are placed within any kind of hacker community which exists to break free of control. Whether or not you support piracy, it really isn't the jailbreak community's place to put out the effort to thwart it. And if they are going to thwart it, it should be directed at protecting the little guy programmer, not behemoths like Google who suddenly add a feature that jailbreak apps have given us for many years.

Of course, you can still access these tools by finding the developer's repos and adding that to your Cydia, but this really is a bunch of bullshit.

This has been long awaited. Many iOS 12 jailbreaks were theorized and worked on, but none made it to the public with full Cydia support until a few days ago.

unc0ver supports iOS 12 up to 12.1.2.

At the time of this writing, it only supports devices up to the iPhone X, including 5S, 6, 6 Plus, 6S, 7, 7 Plus, 8, and X. It does NOT support iPhone XS, XS Max, XR, or 2018 iPad Pros. However, support for these devices is supposedly coming soon. It will never support iPhone 5 and below.

The creator of unc0ver (pwn20wnd on Twitter) has stated that he is working on supporting iPhone XS/XS Max/XR.

What if you have iOS 12.1.3 or later?

For a brief time, you can still downgrade to 12.1.1 beta 3. I will give instructions for that in my next post.

What if you're on iOS 11 or lower? Read the next post, as well.

Preparation: Get rid of any auto-downloaded iOS update your phone may have grabbed without your knowledge. If you don't do this, it might screw everything up.

Fri, 21 Sep 2018 07:15:52 GMTBelieve it or not, some obnoxious app developers do NOT want you jailbreaking your phone, and will quietly prevent their apps from working with jailbroken phones.

Usually you won't get a message when this happens. The app simply won't work -- either crashing, failing to connect to their server, or some other catastrophic failure.

Why do they do this? Some apps -- especially games -- fear cheating by players, and cheating is easier to do with jailbroken phones. It's a stupid reason to disable the app from working, but that's what some of them do.

3) After your iPhone resprings, go into Settings, and scroll down to Liberty, then click it. Turn on the "Enable Liberty" switch. Then go to both "Block Jailbreak Detection" and "Block Cydia Substrate", and turn them on for all apps where jailbroken devices are restricted. If you aren't having problems with an app, you don't need to bother turning this on for that app.

That's it!

If for some reason Liberty doesn't work for your iOS version, then download Liberty Lite instead, which is a pared down version of Liberty.

Wed, 05 Sep 2018 07:53:58 GMTMany streaming sites around the web have geographic areas blocked.

These are commercial services but they will let you sign up with no credit card for a free trial.

Unlocator gives you 7 days, SmartDNSproxy gives you 14 days.

If you keep repeatedly signing up for trials, they may ban your IP, but you can always change your IP (I may post a tutorial on this later) and then you can sign up again. Or just pay for them!

You must follow the setup procedures they outline for your device, in order for it to work.

Unlocator tends to be more straightforward with just working, while SmartDNSproxy sometimes requires extra configuration.

If you do use SmartDNSproxy, you will probably need to go to their configuration page. From there, simply scroll down and see which site/channel you want to fake your location, and then set the dropdown to correspond with the country you're supposed to be in. For example, if you want to watch MLB, you need to be set to Germany mode. Not sure why Germany, but that's how they have it. So you would scroll down to Region D and select Germany from the dropdown. It's simpler than it sounds, trust me.

Not sure how well this works for Netflix outside the US.

Wed, 08 Aug 2018 23:33:55 GMTThe video game emulation ROM scene had a "Black Friday" moment today, when emuparadise, a long standing rom file sharing site which had offered roms for free download for over 20 years, shut down all of its rom offerings for good:

Quote:

The site explained the bad news in a post today, acknowledging the reality that the world of retro gaming has changed irrevocably and a site like EmuParadise simply can’t continue to exist even semi-legally. So they’re removing all ROM downloads.

For those not familiar with this scene, emulators let you play games from classic consoles that might otherwise be difficult, expensive or even impossible to find in the wild. ROMs, which contain the actual game data (and are often remarkably small — NES games are smaller than the image above), are questionably legal and have existed in a sort of grey area for years. But there’s no question that this software has been invaluable to gamers.

“I started EmuParadise 18 years ago because I never got to play many of these amazing retro games while growing up in India and I wanted other people to be able to experience them,” wrote the site’s founder, MasJ. “Through the years I’ve worked tirelessly with the rest of the EmuParadise team to ensure that everyone could get their fix of retro gaming. We’ve received thousands of emails from people telling us how happy they’ve been to rediscover and even share their childhood with the next generations in their families.”

Video game companies have been so far behind the times on digital offerings, up until recently when streaming become technologically doable and is even now a growing business. Behemoths (like Nintendo) actually benefit significantly from their history being hard to play. That's not a failing on their part, it's by design. They want to force you to pay for Super Mario Bros 3 on the new Nintendo Switch again for $15.99, even though your parents bought it for you for $59.99 in 1990, and you paid $4.99 for it on the Wii Virtual Console back in 2009. Nintendo does not want any NES game to be available and easily playable; keeping those games obscure and difficult to play makes them more money and allows them to (legally and rightfully) reclaim the IP ownership of their brand and go after illegal piracy. Even if Nintendo uses a rom file they got from the internet to sell in their virtual gamestores.

Others may argue this is a slippery slope of attacking the real preservation of games digitially, as well as creative "rom hacks" done by communities who aren't in it for advertising and fee money (like some sites who offer roms do), just for the love of these games, and the appreciation of the art of the genre.

What's interesting however is that we all know ROM sites won't go away, a lot like how internet gambling didn't go away when Black Friday or UIGEA happened; or when music sharing kept going after Napster shut down because of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in 2005. People will go, and find, most likely riskier sources with torrents and files that could be loaded with malware and adware. No matter what the companies do, they can never stop rom file sharing, but putting pressure on rom sites in general may end up hurting everyone in the end due to stifling innovation (these "digital game stores" you see in console todays are because of emulation), bad PR for the brands themselves, and resulting in a just a shittier experience for the customer overall.

Word to the wise: download what you can now before it becomes harder to make that Retropie build.

Tue, 31 Jul 2018 00:12:04 GMTOne of the limiting factors to the life of iPhones is the incompatibility with apps.

Eventually, most apps require updates to continue working. And eventually, older iOS versions are no longer supported for these apps, and the App Store won't let you download them.

At the same time, some older phones have trouble running the newer iOS versions without massive slowdowns, so that pretty much forces people into buying a new phone (intentionally, I'm assuming).

It's even worse for jailbreakers, as you can never update to the current iOS without losing your jailbreak.

However, the "minimum required" iOS version is often bullshit. The app would often work on your older iOS, but the app developer doesn't feel like supporting that version anymore, so they simply introduce a requirement to have a fairly recent iOS in order to download it. There's no way around this on non-jailbroken phones.

However, there's a great Cydia (jailbreak) tweet called "Lowerinstall" which can override the App Store and allow you to download anything you want. Here's how:

5) Select "Enabled", enter the iOS version you wish to spoof (the one you want to pretend to have)

6) Under "Device", you should typically enter the correct device you have. You will be entering the phone's "identifier", which isn't always what you'd think it would be. Go here and scroll down to the iPhone section to find your phone's identifier. Only spoof this if the App Store requires a higher version than your current phone. An example of an identifier would be "iPhone7,2" to represent the iPhone 6.

7) Open App Store, and download should work!

Sometimes the app will work, sometimes it won't, sometimes it will have glitches/bugs, but it's better than nothing.

(At time of posting, this will work on all firmware revisions on all newly bought consoles)

Then get yourself a Micro SD card. I've tried a few, Sandisk 32gb's seem to be the ones that haven't failed me when using this.

The instructions on how to use the card are on the link above. Essentially, you use the diskwriter software to format the card to a format the 3ds can understand, and then use that to dump the roms onto it.

Once that's done, slap the card in the Sky3ds, and then put that into your game cart slot. Press the button (or buttons, depending which version you buy) on the Sky3ds to cycle through the games.

You can use this to play online multiplayer as well if you wish, as Sky3ds has built in "stealthmode"

Enjoy!

There is no limit to how many devices can download and use the beta.]]>Have you heard about a feature on an upcoming iOS version, and can't wait to try it out?

Or maybe you have one of those iPhones which is really slow because of that intentional slowdown thing, and you want to get iOS 11.3 before it's actually released to the general public, thus allowing you to turn it off?

Or maybe you just like being ahead of the pack.

There is an incorrect belief that you must be a "paid developer" to get access to iOS/MacOS beta versions.

You can do it legally and easily FOR FREE with NO DEVELOPER ACCOUNT, by following these steps:

3) Click the Sign Up button. Then enter your Apple ID and password as requested. Accept terms and conditions.

4) On the beta screen, click the OS you need (MacOS, iOS, tvOS)

5) Scroll down to where it says "Get Started", and then click on the link that says "enroll your device".

6) Scroll down to step #2, then follow instructions, and then proceed to step #3 and follow those instructions.

That's it!

If downloading iOS from the air (the only way to do it), it will probably take a few hours, so make sure your device is plugged in, turn off the auto-lock feature, and let it go.

One other note. Once it's finished downloading on iOS devices, it won't auto-install. You need to go to the Settings->General->Software Update screen and click "Install Update" at that point.

There is no limit to how many devices can download and use the beta.

Well, I was excited for this, since this was my first computer ever. However, this is going to be a fail and is obviously trying to cash in on the popularity of other mini versions of retro hardware.

Here is the description of the features...

•High Definition output at 720p via HDMI
•Pixel Perfect graphics at 4:3 ratio, with full width, CRT filter and US/Europe display mode options
•Save game function
•2 USB ports: plug in a USB keyboard and use as a fully functional home computer with C64 BASIC, or add a second joystick for 2-player games
•Supports software updates via USB flash drive

Note: The keyboard keys are non-functional

what?

Non functioning keys on a keyboard? What's the fucking point? The F keys were vital to some games and to some of the most basic functions of BASIC.

Also, a lot of the games pre packed with this are pretty bad or clones of other equally bad games.

No Giana Sisters, No Flimbo's Quest, no Robocop, R-type or Shinobi.

Basically, you are paying for a shitty emulator inside a 3d printed case, which you must plug a USB keyboard in to use.

Hopefully the full sized version makes up for this.

Fail.

Mon, 04 Sep 2017 21:13:45 GMTOne of the most tilting things is setting your touchpad the way you want (in my case, I hate the "tapping" and "gestures" crap, and turn it off), just to have it revert to default settings after you reboot.

There is a bug in the driver which will cause this to happen.

You can fix this with the following registry change.

Run regedit.exe to edit the registry.

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTP\Install

Make sure you're doing this for LOCAL_MACHINE and not CURRENT_USER.

Look for a key in that Install folder called DeleteUserSettingsOnUpgrade. If it says the value is 1, then you have this bug.

Right click, and select "Modify", and change the value to 0.

Now go back to the Synaptics control panel, set everything how you like, and reboot.

You may have to repeat this every time Windows 10 does any kind of major upgrade of itself.

Sat, 08 Jul 2017 09:04:00 GMTFor about a decade, hackers have given the middle finger to over-controlling Apple by providing jailbreaks for iPhones. It was an endless cat-and-mouse game. Hackers would find a way to jailbreak the current iOS, Apple would get wind of it, they'd release a new version, and then the hackers would jailbreak the new version.

Rinse and repeat.

Jailbreaking wasn't just a principled stance that the user, rather than the manufacturer, should control what he can do with his own device.

It also created or unlocked iPhone features which made usage of the device far better.

Many of the innovations of the modern iPhone iOS seemed to spring from apps created for jailbroken phones -- ones you could download for free (or for a few dollars) from the underground jailbreak app store called "Cydia".

These features included multiitasking, the "swipe to bring down a menu which controls the phone's most used features", the flashlight (turning on the camera flash as a light source), the ability to tether (using your phone as a mobile hotspot), and many others.

Jailbreaking also allowed you to take more control of your phone for privacy purposes, such as allowing you to fake your GPS location.

However, as Apple got better and better at stopping jailbreaking, it became tougher. The public's interest in getting jailbroken phones also waned, as the standard iOS features expanded and there was less you were gaining from performing a jailbreak.

Eventually, some of the jailbreak hackers got frustrated, and left the scene.

iOS 10 has been out for awhile now, and there does not exist a jailbreak beyond iOS 10.2, which was made obsolete (and impossible to downgrade) awhile back.

Bottom line: For awhile now, it has been impossible to jailbreak any new iPhones, which usually come with the latest iOS already installed.

I have an iPhone with iOS 9.3.3, so my phone is still jailbroken. However, eventually when this phone breaks, gets too obsolete to continue using (it's a 5S), or the iOS becomes too obsolete, I will have to upgrade or give up on the phone.

That might be my last jailbreak, and I will miss it.

Most notably, I need the jailbreak to fake my location in order to watch Dodgers games on the MLB app, and that ability will likely be gone.

Here is a clickbait article which describes the situation: https://www.cultofmac.com/490594/jai...breaking-dead/

My sound card was having a few issues, and I figured the drivers were old. Sure enough, I found a January 2017 version of the driver for that exact sound card on the manufacturer's website, and I downloaded it.

I rolled back the drivers to the previous version (which I had previously downloaded from the manufacturer of the sound card), but it still didn't help.

I called the Indian tech support for my computer, which I hate doing, but I was out of ideas. The guy was on the arrogant side and was mad at me for not wanting to give him control of my computer via a Teamviewer knockoff type application, but after awhile, he told me to get the "latest drivers".

I told him I had already done that.

He asked where I got them, and I said it was from the Realtek website. He told me that was incorrect, and that I should always get drivers from the HP support website. Sure enough, HP had its own driver specifically for this sound card on their system, and it fixed the problem.

Bottom line: Always get drivers from the manufacturer of your computer, not the manufacturer of the component.

Sat, 11 Mar 2017 19:53:20 GMTCydia Impactor is having some issues these days, which leaves you out of luck if you need to "reactivate" your Pangu (iOS 9) jailbreak, which tends to go bad fairly often.

You used to just have to delete Pangu, connect your iPhone to your computer, run Impactor, run Pangu again, and you'd be home free.

Now that won't work, given Impactor's problems.

Jay Freeman (saurik) released a new Impactor today, but it isn't working for a lot of people (including me).

If your Pangu jailbreak on iOS 9 stops working:

However, you can go here: https://jbme.qwertyoruiop.com/from Safari on your phone, follow the instructions, and it will reactivate an existing iOS 9 jailbreak.

Other notes:

- If your phone is not yet jailbroken, this won't work

- If you have iOS 10, this won't work

- If you have iOS 10.2.1 or later, not only won't this work, but there's no way to jailbreak your phone at this time

Fri, 08 Jul 2016 02:53:50 GMTI've been feeling a bit nostalgic lately. When I was growing up in the 90's, hacking was pretty big. The movie Hackers was released in 1996, and it was like the War Games of my time. Everyone wanted to be a hacker.

I've been around computers since I was 4 years old. My family had a PC that was built by a friend of theirs so they could do the books for our family business. It was a dos computer. When Windows 3.1 came out, we got that and my obsession with computer games was born (I played the DOOM games, mostly DOOM 2, over a modem for death matches as DOOM2 was never meant to run over the internet it self, only LANs).

The internet wasn't much back then. AOL 2.0 was the standard and we as little pre teen kids would go into the private chat rooms (mainly the GIF and JPG) and download porno pictures etc. When I was in 6th grade, we got into having programs for our computers that could do things like DOS peoples AOL accounts, ping programs, macro programs for chat rooms (I loved doing that the most) and of course, the most fun thing to do, password phishing.

I read the anarchist cook book religiously (not for the explosives part although I did make napalm once, different story) and I was captivated by the Jolly Roger, who was an old school hacker known for making Blue Boxes and other types of tone generators. I never made one though. I read about all the famous Phreakers of the 80s (Captain Crunch, who was a blind guy who would use this whistle he got from a cereal box to generate tones that could break into phone companies systems). I watched the movie War Games so many fucking times, I could've been David Lightman.

Telephony was a subject i studied as a kid growing up. What the fuck was my obsession with phones? I don't know. I used to record the tones coming from payphones when you put money in and play them back to see if they worked, and they did. It was awesome.

But the biggest hack ever, occurred right here in Chicago (I'm originally from the suburbs north of here). It was the MAX HEAD ROOM INCIDENT.

a bit of background here: The Max Head Room Incident wasn't the first. Captain Midnight who broke into HBO's signal in the mid 80's to protest the ongoing rising rates of cable television happened a year earlier (the year i was born). He was caught though (he was a florida satellite dish salesman) because back then, there were only a few places you could harness the energy needed to over take a broadcast satellite. His pirated broadcast only lasted a few minutes.

captain midnight pirate:

a year later, in Chicago, as legend has it in the suburb of LaGrange (just west of the city limits) where there was a huge group of people on the BBS scene. Out of that group, emerged a subculture of teenagers bent on messing with the system. Seeing what they could do, and what they couldn't. Then, on a november evening in 1987, what is still considered the greatest hack of all time happend. First, he tried to break into the WGN broadcast, which lasted only a few seconds because WGN switched their signal. Then a few hours later, the same hackers broke into the WTTW signal and this time, they were able to get the audio to work. The audio on the second signal was deranged. The hackers berated WGN, and talked about the 50's tv show Clutch Cargo. The broadcast ended with Max spanking someone with a fly swatter. The case was never solved (the pirates gave the signal back to WTTW after 90 seconds for fear of being located by the FCC) and to this day, it's the last ever signal hijacking that ever happened. There were roumers abound in the hacking community that the singal came from La Grange. But to this day, no one has ever come forward, and probably no one ever will.
Wgn:

Wttw:

fucking epic. The Trolls of the Trolls. The best hack ever.

Thu, 10 Mar 2016 07:53:47 GMTYou have talked about computer programming background previously, so I'dl like to interrogate you on this.

Do you have a degree in this field, what languages did you learn in the beginning, who did you work for and what kind of projects did you work on? What as the pre-dominate RDBMS of the day?

Do you program at all now as a hobby, or for profit?

Have you done any custom programming on these forums? Is it all in php? When the forum software company releases an update, how do you make sure any custom changes you made aren't overwritten when you pull (or they push) the update?

Can you also tell me about podcasting - who pays for the bandwidth and how come whatever connection is used when streaming live isn't overwhelmed? Is it because the audio doesn't use much bandwidth? It just seems like eventually the pipe would be saturated.

What about archived podcasts? How does Stitcher (my preferred app) stream it to me? Who is hosting these long-ass podcasts and paying for the storage and bandwidth?

How are the show descriptions pushed to the various podcast platforms? Is it some sort of XML/RSS type format or what exactly?

How many people listen every week and how good are the stats? Do they tell you how long they listened, etc? I mean we have iTunes, stitcher and god only knows what other ways people listen - how can all this data be aggregated with any kind of certainty?

Due to the unbelievable consistency in which the top podcasts produce content, I assume they are doing very well? Maron, Carolla, Rogan, Nerdiest, etc NEVER miss a beat. They (like you) are really good at showing up and while obviously you are passionate about it and have zero profit motives, these other guys have to do well, right?

A guy like Rogan, who is very prolific, gets 250k + views on youtube and I have heard him say the majority of his audience is audio only. WTF? This means more people listen to him than most nightly news shows. I often see podcast ratings and he is usually top 10 or 20 but never #1. I call bullshit - I doubt the next 5 people put together could average 250k viewers per episode on youtube.

I know you are friends with SrsSrsly, do you think it is odd he seems to always take his videos down, move them around and otherwise make it a PIA to find them all in one place? This seems like really odd behavior to me. Like a personality quirk or something.

Wed, 02 Dec 2015 10:32:15 GMTA family member asked me to sell a Galaxy S III for them and I can use some help. I never sold a phone or cpu before as I'm too worried about advanced hackers that can still access data even after its been cleaned. My family member said shes never used the phone to purchase anything via the phone and has no personal photos or information that she would be worried about someone finding. She basically just told me to log out of her Facebook account and delete phone numbers, photos, apps etc and sell it. I think that would be moronic just from what I know about hackers and how deep they can dig into something as simple as a facebook account and follow the rabbit trails until they get to the good stuff. I also worry if she forgot using a card before if purchasing something from the app store or what have it. I don't want to take chances.

Anyways... I want to know what is the best way to clear this phone totally! and sell it safely. I did research online, but only got so far until I ran into a roadblock. I was able to watch a Youtube video and do a "hard reset" where the data was wiped and phone is set on factory settings. When I turned the phone back on, it shows Verizon and her phone number. She isn't under contract with them anymore and I'm having a hard time trying to unlock the phone. If someone could write the steps down or point me to a good article/video to do this, Id really appreciate it.

I also would love to hear any input on anything else I should be doing. Should I purchase new sim card and micro SD card? If so which do I purchase? I checked Amazon and saw this one which is inexpensive http://www.amazon.com/VERIZON-CARD-W...rds=B006GCRY6E but that would be if I cant unlock it. If I can't sell it for at least $100, I think Ill just throw her some money for it and keep it myself. I have only used iPhone's and after seeing this Samsung screen quality, It would be nice to have while grinding live mtts as I can watch movies on it instead of my tablet. If you have experience selling a phone in the past and have tips or know of a better site to sell on than ebay, Id love to hear.

Thank you! - Jim

Mon, 31 Aug 2015 21:03:55 GMT... but before you panic, you're only vulnerable if you used the Cydia "Weiphone Source". If you don't know what that is, or if your phone isn't jailbroken, your account is safe.

There is a version you can buy, but the free version is very functional.

Basically this gives your computer the ability to TRANSMIT a wifi signal, which can be very useful in certain situations.

I find it's most useful where you are charged "per device" for hotel or airplane internet. Using connectify, you can pay for just one device (your computer), and then retransmit the internet to your other devices (phone, iPad, wife's computer, etc).

It is also useful if you are in a place with only wired internet, and you can then use your computer to act as a wireless router for all of your other devices.

It's not all that useful at home, but I've used it quite a few times on the road. Worth a download.

His name was Ralph Baer. He created the Odyssey, released in 1972. He actually created one called "The Box" in the late 1960s, which was essentially the same machine as the Odyssey, but it wasn't widely released until he licensed it out to Magnavox in 1972 and the name was changed.

The Odyssey 2 came out in the late '70s, and was a competitor to Atari for awhile.

One of my friends in the '70s had an Odyssey 2, and we played it all the time, especially before my parents bought me an Atari.

Mon, 28 Oct 2013 23:16:12 GMTHere is a little-known feature to boost your volume. I suggest you only enable it at times when the volume is too low, such as a YouTube video that plays too softly despite turning the volume to 100%.

1. Right click on the "speaker icon" on the bottom right corner of the display (the quick launch area)
2. Click "Playback devices"
3. Under Playback Tab, click "Speaker HD Audio Device" or whatever is similar, and then click "Properties"
4. Under Enhancements Tab, check on "Loudness Equalization", then click Apply.

Then go play your video. If the audio disappears, reload the video and it should work fine. It will automatically pick a proper volume.

The only con is that you can introduce distortion at louder volumes, so don't leave this option on. Turn it off (uncheck Loudness Equalization and click Apply again) when finished boosting the volume.

The article basically says that AT&T has increased speed and bandwidth, to where they are no longer experiencing the "crowd problems" where you could not use your phone for data when in a densely-populated area, such as a major city, stadium, or casino.

I have noticed an improvement over the last 2-3 years, but I still notice the data struggling at times when in a highly populated place. Fortunately I can switch to the outdated "Edge" network, which most iPhones cannot do, as I have jailbroken my phone.

The article notes, however, that AT&T is still only "catching up" to Verizon, and that Verizon will leapfrog ahead of them again very soon, as they have had their technology and coverage in place for a long time now.

I have AT&T primarily because I'm grandfathered in to a great deal with them, and to switch at this point would make my cell phone bill skyrocket.

I will say that I am generally satisfied with their customer service. I have never had Verizon cell service before, but customer service was TERRIBLE at T-Mobile, and also pretty bad at Sprint.

Google is innovating yet again. They are launching balloons over New Zealand, meant to provide WiFi for people in rural and remote areas where high speed internet access is otherwise unavailable.

They will float at 60,000 feet. It is not clear if this could be a long-term solution, or if it's not viable to provide reliable internet access, but they are in the testing phases right now. I do wonder if they could be a possible danger for airplanes if one starts to sink and pilots are not aware of it.

Sun, 07 Apr 2013 03:52:09 GMTwould someone please decipher this article and reassure me that I do NOT have to worry about "weaponized word documents" please? holy fuck I mean Sonatine are you really out there protecting us from shit like this? if you are, that's amazing. I can't see how it's fucking possible to actually stay ahead of the genius types thinking of shit like this. I mean it's literally amazing (the malware anyway.) I am still amazed malware has been written to circumvent being detected in a virtualized environment. That's been my fool proof for a while now against opening suspicious files or programs (using a virtual pc I mean) so this just fucking sucks to read.

Sneaky malware hides behind mouse movement, experts say

Researchers from security vendor FireEye have uncovered a new advanced persistent threat (APT) that uses multiple detection evasion techniques, including the monitoring of mouse clicks, to determine active human interaction with the infected computer.Called Trojan.APT.BaneChant, the malware is distributed via a Word document rigged with an exploit sent during targeted email attacks. The name of the document translates to "Islamic Jihad.doc.""We suspect that this weaponized document was used to target the governments of Middle East and Central Asia," FireEye researcher Chong Rong Hwa said Monday in a blog post.Multistage attack

The attack works in multiple stages. The malicious document downloads and executes a component that attempts to determine if the operating environment is a virtualized one, like an antivirus sandbox or an automated malware analysis system, by waiting to see if there's any mouse activity before initiating the second attack stage.Mouse click monitoring is not a new detection evasion technique, but malware using it in the past generally checked for a single mouse click, Rong Hwa said. BaneChant waits for at least three mouse clicks before proceeding to decrypt a URL and download a backdoor program that masquerades as a .JPG image file, he said.The malware also employs other detection evasion methods. For example, during the first stage of the attack, the malicious document downloads the dropper component from an ow.ly URL. Ow.ly is not a malicious domain, but is a URL shortening service.The rationale behind using this service is to bypass URL blacklisting services active on the targeted computer or its network, Rong Hwa said. (See also "Spammers abuse .gov URL shortener service in work-at-home scams."Similarly, during the second stage of the attack, the malicious .JPG file is downloaded from a URL generated with the No-IP dynamic Domain Name System (DNS) service.After being loaded by the first component, the .JPG file drops a copy of itself called GoogleUpdate.exe in the "C:\ProgramData\Google2\" folder. It also creates a link to the file in the user's start-up folder in order to ensure its execution after every computer reboot.This is an attempt to trick users into believing that the file is part of the Google update service, a legitimate program that's normally installed under "C:\Program Files\Google\Update\", Rong Hwa said.The backdoor program gathers and uploads system information back to a command-and-control server. It also supports several commands including one to download and execute additional files on the infected computers.As defense technologies advance, malware also evolves, Rong Hwa said. In this instance, the malware has used a number of tricks, including evading sandbox analysis by detecting human behavior, evading network-level binary extraction technology by performing multibyte XOR encryption of executable files, masquerading as a legitimate process, evading forensic analysis by using fileless malicious code loaded directly into the memory and preventing automated domain blacklisting by using redirection via URL shortening and dynamic DNS services, he said.

The files were in a secluded repository of shared objects in my flash player or something, Oddly enough though I did a little more digging and this crap is actually very likely spyware sent from broadband service providers for monitoring purposes kind of off the books. By making "effective measures" the bad guy big companies like comcast can get their hands on the info they want, like users web habits and general tone in public about comcast (meaning are users bitching online or are they happy, that sort of thing) and normally an ISP's official stance on this sort of thing is "no bueno without a subpoena." As if they truly value the privacy of their users rofl anyway this way it's a little bit discreet so I give them the nod for at least trying to be polite...Anyway block that shit like so:

go to start button

right click on notepad

select run as administrator

click on yes in prompt to continue

go to file menu in notepad

click on open file

select all files in drop down list before selecting the file

go to windows/system32/drivers/etc

select hosts file

copy contents over to notepad and then copy and paste the following at the bottom of the hosts file:

Forgetting your password is never any fun, but luckily there’s a really easy way to reset the password. All you need is a copy of the Windows installation disk and one simple command line trick.Resetting Your Forgotten Windows Password

Boot off the Windows disk and select the “Repair your computer” option from the lower left-hand corner.Follow through until you get to the option to open the Command Prompt, which you’ll want to select.First you’ll want to type in the following command to backup the original sticky keys file:

copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\

Then you’ll copy the command prompt executable (cmd.exe) over top of the sticky keys executable:

copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe

Now you can reboot the PC.Resetting the Password

Once you get to the login screen, hit the Shift key 5 times, and you’ll see an administrator mode command prompt.Now to reset the password—just type the following command, replacing the username and password with the combination you want:

net user geek MyNewPassword

That’s all there is to it. Now you can login.Of course, you’ll probably want to put the original sethc.exe file back, which you can do by rebooting into the installation CD, opening the command prompt, and copying the c:\sethc.exe file back to c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe.

Google is entering the ISP/cable business.

They are now offering 1 GB upload/download speeds (which blows away anything currently offered to residential customers) for $120/month, which includes TV.

They are offering the same without TV for $70/month.

Perhaps even more surprising, they are offering a slower internet (5 MB download, 1 MB upload, similar to today's budget cable plans) for free, guaranteed for a minimum of 7 years. The only "catch" is that you have to pay a $300 one-time "construction" fee to get this.

The 1 GB speed is almost 1000 times faster than the slower DSL/cable speeds of today, and still 50-70 times faster than most fiber optic customers (such as Verizon FIOS) are getting.

Keep in mind that a lot of the additional speed will be wasted for most customers, as the speed of loading web pages depends upon a variety of factors, including your computer's processing speed and the website's speed. Still, 1 GB downloads would be really sweet. For example, would allow you to download a feature-length movie in just 6 seconds!

Unfortunately, this is only available right now in the Kansas City area.

I asked a guy online who's pretty knowledgable his opinion, and he doesn't have time to squander on the little insignificant squawking pigeons making a rukuss around his feet so rather than wait around to be kicked and stepped on by the zion I am hoping for some advice here, probably from bootsy (I hope anyway)

I have done the following- configured bios to boot from, well, just about every possibility, eventually restoring to defualt (which is boot from cd-dvd, then hd, then usb etc) nothing worked

I then took ownership of usb, nada. Took ownership of every single blasted file on the usb installer, nada.

Booted into recovery console and made sure disk 0 is active (and online strangely- like a raid volume? online?) and ran the following
bootrec /fixmbr ; bootrec /fixboot rebooted, back into recovery console bootrec /rebuildbcd C:\WINDOWS and this part is strange-at NO point was bootrec ever able to find a windows installation. Weird right?

Yet every command from bootrec (the three mentioned) came back with result code of success, no error messages.

bootrec /scanos shows 0 windows installations.

diskpart list partition shows disk 0 only, with 2 partitions (C and D, no MBR) and just two volumes (one for each partition) so-it looks kind of like

I am missing my MBR partition. Is this strange, and does anyone have a solution?

Fri, 15 Jun 2012 22:57:44 GMT General -> About and scroll down until you see "Version".
At this point, it should either be 5.0.1 or 5.1.1.
If it is something else, upgrade to 5.1.1 through iTunes and come back here.
Also, if you have *anything besides an iPhone 4S*, upgrade to 5.1.1. If you have a 4S, you can leave it at 5.0.1 if you want, but you also can upgrade to 5.1.1 and this jailbreak will still work.
You will be downloading a program called Absinthe to do your jailbreaking.
Make sure to download the right Absinthe depending on your computer type and your iPhone (or iPad/iTouch) OS:
*Windows computer + iPhone software version 5.0.1*: http://cache.greenpois0n.com/dl/absinthe-win-0.4.zip
*Mac computer + iPhone software version 5.0.1*: http://cache.greenpois0n.com/dl/absinthe-mac-0.4.zip
*Linux-running computer + iPhone software 5.0.1*: http://cache.greenpois0n.com/dl/absinthe-linux-0.4.tar.gz
*Windows computer + iPhone software version 5.1.1*: https://sites.google.com/site/greenpois0nabsinthe/absinthe-win-2.0.4.zip?attredirects=0&d=1
*Mac computer + iPhone software version 5.1.1*: https://sites.google.com/site/greenpois0nabsinthe/absinthe-mac-2.0.4.dmg?attredirects=0&d=1
*Linux-running computer + iPhone software version 5.1.1*: https://sites.google.com/site/greenpois0nabsinthe/absinthe-linux-2.0.4.tar.bz2?attredirects=0&d=1
Most of you will be using one of the last 3 links, presumably the Windows + 5.1.1 link.
Once you have downloaded the correct verison of Absinthe, run it.
Follow the instructions it gives from there. You will need the wire that connects your iPhone/iPad to your computer's USB port, but don't plug it in until Absinthe asks you to.
Let me know if you have any problems.
If you want to save some time, you can skip the backup, but obviously you are taking on some additional risk.
Once you have jailbroken it, you will have a program called Cydia.
Cydia is where you download the various "jailbreak apps" -- underground apps that the Apple Store doesn't allow you to have. Some of them are free, while others cost money.
Here are some I suggest:
- SBSettings: A very useful app where you can slide your finger across the top of the screen and get access to all kinds of settings on your iPhone. Also very useful to free memory on your device without rebooting when it's acting sluggish.
- aTube or MxTube: Allows you to download videos from YouTube and save them on your device. This also gives you access to ALL of YouTube, and not the censored YouTube that Apple provides to you. It also lets you download the videos in full resolution, which Apple only normally lets you watch if you're on WiFi.
- Flashlight: If your iPhone has a flash with its camera, you can use this app to keep that light on for as long as you want. There are "approved" Flashlight apps in the app store, but this one is the brightest.
- User Agent Fake (UAFaker): Trick websites into believing you are on a computer browser instead of an iPhone, so you're not forced into terrible "mobile" versions of websites.
- TetherMe: This costs something like $5 or $10, but it's a one-time fee. It provides you with "tethering" ability -- being able to use your iPhone to provide your computer internet access. It can even do so wirelessly, making your iPhone act as a wireless router! This is especially useful if you are on the road or in a hotel. I know that AT&T charges you something ridiculous like $20/month to tether, and this allows you to dodge that charge. *Be aware that tethering is a HUGE bandwidth hog, so be careful using it if you don't have unlimited data!*]]>First off, I take no responsibility if you fuck up your iPhone attempting this. Do this at your own risk. While these procedures are pretty solid, there is always a small chance you will "brick" your iPhone and cause it to become unusable, so don't attempt this if it will be a major impact on your life if failure occurs.

The freeze would happen for like 5-15 seconds, and I was going crazy trying to solve it.

Finally I beat it, so I figured I might as well share it with people here:

If you see your Chrome do this (freeze the whole computer), look at the bottom of the browser. If you see "Waiting for Cache...", then you have this exact bug.

There is a relatively easy fix to stop the problem.

It involves a problem with the "User Data" folder for Chrome.

You just need to go to this directory:

C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome

Take the folder called "User Data" and copy it anywhere else on your hard drive. Like, for example, make a directory called "Chrome Data" under the main C: drive, and just copy the "User Data" folder to that folder. Don't copy just the contents of the folder. Actually copy the whole folder called "User Data" to where it now resides in the new folder you just created.

Now delete the "User Data" folder in the original location.

Finally, open up a console window (type "cmd" at the run prompt) and type the following:

mklink /J "[old location of UserData]" "[new location of UserData]"

Let's say your User Data folder was located at C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome and you moved it to C:\googlecache

(ignore the space between Use and r, I don't know why the forum is doing that)

Don't bother with any of this if your Chrome isn't regularly freezing your computer. If you need help, just post here or PM me.

Fri, 30 Mar 2012 09:45:43 GMTAs a method of quick browsing for wares on SR (not ordering, there is a time and place to talk about shit like that...it isn't here) or wherever a TOR browser might have a use I installed Orbot and Orweb v2 on my phone. Upon installing both applications I was hit with a barrage of updates and two piece of new software which I didn't agree to download (Zinio and Google Play). What gives? I install what to a believe to be a secure browser but it installs some Bullshit on the backend...exactly how secure is Orbot/OrWeb? This leads me to be VERY weary of even considering to do anything that WOULD require a TOR browser and like hell I would even get anything on SR on my phone given this dose of reality.

Sat, 17 Mar 2012 01:41:09 GMTI, just for curiosity sake, logged on to sealswithclubs poker site, and when I went to view a game in progress, I was surprised to find that their poker client is web based. I've never run across this before, but it did make me think, is it safe?? Obviously it must be, but it piqued my interest on the pros and cons between the two. Is it a simple answer?? One thing for sure, there would never be that occasional and inconvenient "updating client" wait (and sometimes fail) that local clients experience.

Mon, 12 Mar 2012 04:10:10 GMTRecently an output of netstat -a gave an output of one established ftp connection. This is weird because I do not have any ftp software installed and never use it. I have no reason to.

The weirder part is that the connection persisted after closing down my internet connection. I could not kill the pid nor would it go away. I had to restart my system to get rid of it.

Whats up with that??? Sound fishy to anyone? Could this be evidence of SSH tunneling or similar? I feel confident I wiped out any malware I had but my network I am not in love with. I suspect there is something lurking someplace I cannot see but not 100% on that. My suspicion comes from, among other things, the fact that if ALL computers in the house are completely off and the router is rebooted as soon as it's back online its flashing like fucking mad with wireless internet connectivity. There is also a wireless connection always present, with no computers running. Weird?

Security- router has wpa2 with a fairly tough password, my mac i have locked down as best I can without TOO much effort. Root disabled all accounts have 8+ character passwords mixing numbers letters symbols etc, my firewall is set to deny all inbound connections and with little snitch i keep an eye on outbound. I mean what else can/should I be doing? If someone is breaking into my mac or using my network how can I find evidence of this? FWIW I tried packet capturing and was bewildered at the data I received. I have no clue what any of it means. I also have cocoa packet sniffer.
